- Firewall or antivirus software blocking communication between QuickBooks and the server.
- Multiple instances of QuickBooks Database Server Manager installed.

Step-by-Step Solutions to Fix Error 6175, 0
1. Verify Hosting Settings
Ensure that only the server computer is set to host multi-user access. Workstations should not host the company file.
On Workstations:
- Open QuickBooks.
- Go to File > Utilities.
- If you see Host Multi-User Access, do not select it.
- If you see Stop Hosting Multi-User Access, select it to disable hosting.
On Server:
- Open QuickBooks.
- Go to File > Utilities.
- If you see Host Multi-User Access, select it to enable hosting.
- If you see Stop Hosting Multi-User Access, select it, then repeat the process to re-enable hosting.
2. Configure QuickBooks Database Server Manager
Ensure that the QuickBooks Database Server Manager is properly installed and configured on the server:
- Open the Start menu on the server and search for QuickBooks Database Server Manager.
- Open the application.
- Click on Scan Folders.
- If the folder containing your company file is not listed, click Add Folder and select the appropriate folder.
- Click Scan to allow the Database Server Manager to configure the firewall and permissions for QuickBooks.

Firewalls or antivirus software may block communication required for QuickBooks to function in multi-user mode. Ensure that the following ports are open:

Also, add the following QuickBooks executable files as exceptions in your firewall and antivirus settings:
- QBW32.exe
- QBUpdate.exe
- QBDBMgr.exe
- QBDBMgrN.exe
4. Change QuickBooksDBXX Service to Local System Account
Adjusting the QuickBooksDBXX service to run under the Local System Account can resolve permission issues:
- Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
- Locate QuickBooksDBXX (where XX corresponds to your QuickBooks version).
- Right-click and select Properties.
- Go to the Log On tab.
- Select Local System Account.
- Click Apply, then OK.
- Restart the service.

After the repair, restart your computer and try accessing the company file in multi-user mode.
Preventing Future Occurrences

- Regularly back up your company files.
- Maintain proper network configurations and permissions.
